STEVIE WINWOOD: WINWOOD AT THE KEYS

Description

Steve Winwood recording at Olympic Studios, London 1967.

" 'Dear Mister Fantasy' was a watershed moment for me as this album was the first Rock release for Chris Blackwell’s newly formed Island Records and was produced by Jimmy Miller, to my mind one of the greatest producers who ever lived. He was a huge influence on my career and I owe him a debt of gratitude for showing me what it takes to capture a band's live performance in the studio. Steve Winwood was the wunderkind multi instrumentalist with a soaring voice that just made everything seem so easy.” ~ Eddie Kramer

About Eddie Kramer

Eddie Kramer is mostly known as a producer/engineer working closely with the biggest names of an era he likes to call 'The Golden Age of Rock & Roll' ('67-'72). During that period the whole recording industry was a much better place in terms of the amount of freedom the bands were given in order for them to create their albums. Eddie was afforded the opportunity to take intimate pictures of Hendrix, The Stones and Zeppelin, by virtue of his close working relationship with them.
